1.75 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

In the quiet language of light, this ruby speaks of deep evenings and promises kept, a jewel offered by The Natural Ruby Company that seems to hold the first warm sigh of sunset. C.Dunaigre certified, transparent, and Vivid Red in tone, this 1.75 carat oval ruby measures 8.16 x 6.55 x 3.86 mm, an intimate size that carries a presence beyond its frame. The mixed brilliant cut choreographs each facet into a constellation, every plane catching and returning flame, while the clarity, very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, lends an honest breath of nature to its perfection. Born in the mineral rich soils of Mozambique, and free from enhancement, this gem arrives as it formed, a pure note of color and light. Imagine holding a small, burning heart between finger and thumb, light passing through it like poetry, color so vivid that memory and moment seem to merge. The excellent polish lifts every facet into mirror like motion, and the oval silhouette offers a timeless rhythm, a soft ellipse that flatters, that frames, that keeps the gaze returning again and again.

There is a romance in its red, a saturated song that moves from garnet warmth into crimson fire, carrying depth without heaviness, clarity without sterility. This ruby breathes, it does not merely glow, and the mixed brilliant arrangement allows flashes of inner fire to tumble outward with each tilt, each shift. Up close, inclusions are like tiny fingerprints of the earth, very slightly included at eye level, proof of origin and natural history, small imperfections that only deepen the human story this stone can tell. The polish is excellent, and the surface responds to touch and light with a smoothness that speaks of careful cutting and final refinement. Because it has no enhancement, its color and character are the result of geological patience, and that authenticity is a rare luxury. Visualize this oval set in a delicate halo, cradled by warm gold or cool platinum, each metal offering a different mood, each setting transforming the ruby from a solitary flame into a complete narrative, a jewel meant for vows, for anniversaries, for moments when language falls short.

Beyond its beauty, this ruby carries a promise of endurance, it is a jewel meant for a life well lived, for everyday memories and sudden celebrations. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, rubies, being gem quality corundum, register at nine, a measure of robustness second only to diamond which sits at ten. This means that this 1.75 carat Mozambique ruby is exceptionally resistant to scratching and abrasion under normal wear, more tenacious than common jewelry stones, and a wise choice for rings that will be worn often. Compared to other gemstones, its hardness places it among the most durable options for an engagement ring or an heirloom piece, while its toughness, the ability to resist breakage, is enhanced by the thoughtful symmetry of the mixed brilliant cut. Still, as with any treasure, tenderness is advised, and simple care will preserve its song. Avoid harsh knocks, extreme temperature shock, and aggressive chemical cleaners, preferring mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft brush to restore its surface. When not being worn, keep it in a separate soft pouch or compartment, so it may rest without rubbing against other gems, and consider professional inspection and cleaning once a year, a gentle ritual to ensure the polish and setting remain as immaculate as when you first beheld it.

To hold this ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is to hold a compact universe of warmth, a talisman of passion and fidelity. Its modest dimensions belie an emotional expanse, one that invites engravings and settings that echo the language of a relationship, be that a solitaire that declares commitment, a three stone piece that marks shared history, or a pendant that rests close to the heart. Its Mozambique origin gives it a story of distant soils and patient geology, a provenance that we honor and document through C.Dunaigre certification, a record that accompanies the gem, assuring you of its natural origin and its unenhanced state. Picture the stone in a vintage inspired bezel to emphasize its oval silhouette, or in a modern prong mount to allow light to travel through and ignite every facet, each choice shaping the way the ruby speaks.
